Abstract
We conducted this study to evaluate the outcome of 203 patients admitted to PICU, using PRISM score. Overall mortality was 16.7%. The mean PRISM score was 6.5+/-3.6 and 15.5+/-7 for survivors and non survivors, respectively (OR: 1.36; 95% CI=1.24 -1.5; P<0.001). PRISM score also correlated well with length of hospital stay and the number of organ failures (P<0.001). A cut off score of 15 was associated with 89.2% accuracy. PRISM score is highly sensitive in predicting the outcome of pediatric patients in an ICU setting.Entities:
